Re: I was Framed
from memory 3/4 is same dims as 1/2 just thicker frame metal. 1 ton may be a llittle deeper section. when I get to a computer I can post a link to place that has all the dims.
Posted via Mobile Device missed it was an AD truck, others know more

1/2 ton tapers front to rear
3/4 ton taper stops at the back of the cab then straight back 1 ton is like the 3/4 each gets a longer in the wheelbase and the frame gets heavier. |

Re: I was Framed
also, 3/4 ton frames are a quite a bit narrower in the rear. i can pull a measurement if you would like.
so yes, longer and narrower.

Re: I was Framed
The 1 tons also have no axle arch, at least mine doesn't.

Re: I was Framed
The metal is thicker and the rails are slightly taller on the 3/4 ton.
